I was wondering if there is any point in selecting the LOG color mode when shooting still photgraphy and setting the contrast and saturation to -3, the same as when shooting video.
I usually shoot RAW, Auto WB, Style None, Color None, 5 AEB - merge in Photomatix and correct in Lightroom.

I thought LOG was only beneficial for video, but have read of someone selecting it for stills and doing the -3 style, with good results.

Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for still photography settings. Thanks.

Great question, I would also like to know.

I don't think it makes any difference when taking photos in RAW format.
The .DNG files will be the raw data off the sensor, without any adjustments on the image.

+1   That's why it's called RAW

Correct. It doesn't affect RAW stills but it will affect JPEG as well as video.
